Academic Interests

Some of the Values that Shape My Work

Human development has been a “through line” in my professional work.  The child development literature and my assessment of children guide my work in curriculum development with teachers.  I believe that one must learn from and with children as they engage with the physical, social, and intellectual world.  Research in the social sciences and my work in Descriptive Review, developed at Prospect School inform my practice.  I also have a deep commitment to the role of education in a democratic society.

Work with Families, Children, Schools, and Communities

I taught pre-k and kindergarten in Connecticut public schools and set up one of the first Head Start classrooms there.  I worked with 3s and children with special needs at Yale Child Study Center and did a one-year internship at the Psychiatric Clinic for Children in Stamford, CT.   

Selected Professional Development Work

My professional work includes advisory services and workshop presentations in curriculum development in early childhood centers; policy and program documentation of the Connecticut Beginning Educator Support and Training Program (BEST); and Connecticut assessment of first year teachers in both teacher education and special education.
